Snakes on a Plane (2007, DVD)

Movie Description
SNAKES ON A PLANE's magnificently self-explanatory title triggered a cascade of buzz and anticipation, and fans of truth in advertising will be relieved to learn that the movie lives up to its billing in every way: there are many snakes, they are on an airplane, Samuel L. Jackson is there to show them who's boss, and the results are just as fun as they are silly. Jackson stars as Nelville Flynn, an FBI agent escorting a witness (Nathan Phillips) on a flight to Los Angeles. Phillips is supposed to testify against an evil mobster, but the details really aren't important, and the filmmakers are smart enough to focus on what counts: a variety pack of poisonous snakes is released mid-flight. To make matters worse, the snakes are crazed and violent because of pheromones, leading to the truly classic Samuel L. Jackson line, "Great. Snakes on crack."


With the notable exception of Jackson, most of the cast couldn't act its way out of an airplane barf bag, but that's probably for the best, as good performances would only serve as a distraction from the snakes--who have no trouble springing out of luggage compartments, toilets, and even mouths. The flight includes a standard array of monster-bait, including an arrogant rapper (Flex Alexander), his bodyguard (Kenan Thompson), a flight attendant on her last trip (Julianna Margulies), a rich princess (Rachel Blanchard), and an irritable misanthrope (Gerard Plunkett). But mostly, there are snakes. The script is full of punch lines, some intentional and others not, but the movie expertly treads the line between spoof and sincere B-movie, and fans of both genres should be thoroughly satisfied.

Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "SNAKES ON A PLANE is designed to chomp down on our jaded jugulars and pump a bracingly gush of lunatic charm."
Total Film - Andy Lowe (10/01/2006)

"Sam Jackson's slithery slab of silliness surprised everyone by actually being rather good despite its loony premise."
Ultimate DVD - Chris Prince (08/01/2006)

    Snakes on a Plane - Much better than Anaconda 2

    This is the MOVIE OF THE YEAR... just kidding, but it's pretty good. It definitely lives up to the hype. The snakes are really well done and the there actually is a pretty decent story to this movie.

    Samuel L. Jackson is awesome and so is the supporting cast. If you're in the mood for action and thrills this movie is for you. My only problem with it is that it's a touch long, could've been 85 minutes instead of 105.

    Final Verdict:

    5/5

    Rent or Buy?: Buy this one for something to watch when there's nothing else on t.v. I'll buy a copy just to have a piece of cinema history.

    IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.

    The movie was too unrealistic. What are the chances of that many snakes on a plane? Just not a good movie.
